When the Turian Senator walked into Senator Udina's office, just as he expected, Ghost Shepard was also there. But why does he feel weird? ...It always feels as if these two people have suddenly found a backbone...as if they are not so anxious anymore.
But when Udina and Shepard saw him coming in, they tacitly stopped what they were discussing, and then saluted him with their attention! The turian councilor suddenly felt confused - he felt something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out! But at this time, it can be said that the arrow is on the string and he has to shoot it. He can only bite the bullet and tell the matter - no matter what evil ideas they have, they must always save the earth!
The turian glanced around the room, and then stopped at Sister Xue. "Shepard, I can't give you what you want, but I can tell you where to get it. Grand Commander Turian Petorian is trapped on one of Palaven's moons..." The councilman found him When saying this, Sister Xue and Udina both showed strange expressions. He paused awkwardly and found that he couldn't get a clue, so he could only continue. "And the Normandy... is one of the few ships I know that can bypass the Reapers and sneak in to rescue the Commander without being discovered..."
"Next, if I ask, 'You said how I can help you, but you didn't say how you can help me,'" Sister Xue said with a strange expression, "you will tell me, 'Only Commander Petorian can It is the turian leader who decides where the turian fleet will fight and for whom, right?"
"It's like this..." Someone pointed it out first, and now the turian was really embarrassed. But he still explained, "A grateful commander will be beneficial to your desire to 'unite us,' right?"
"Yeah!" Sister Xue sneered, "How do you talk about asking for help as if someone else is asking for you?!" Before the Turian councilor could say anything, Sister Xue simply continued, "And I also know, That commander-in-chief of yours has died! Not only will the new commander-in-chief not be grateful to me for this, he will even say that the Turian problem must be solved before we can talk about supporting the Earth! Then I have to convince Krogan to save the Turians. In order If you want to invest in Krogan, you must first convince Salarian to solve the Phage Gene Virus for the Krogan people...
Do we have to wait until you are all safe before we consider saving the earth? Are you treating me like a fool? ! "
The turian councilor was stunned, speechless as Shepard snatched him away. In the end, he could only say with a dry smile, "Of course. Of course, the safety of the turian must be ensured first..."
Yes, Mu Xing clearly told Sister Xue most of the next "plot" on that phone call - she was almost furious before the Turians arrived! Shepard could imagine when she faced that situation - others asked her various difficult questions again and again that made her sacrifice her life, but in order to save the earth. Shepard had to humiliate himself as these people's thugs again and again!
In order to adjust the frivolous relationship between these races, Sister Xue will not only have to sacrifice the connections, affection, and kindness she has accumulated over the years, but she will even have to sacrifice her own life and that of her team members! But even if she did all that - the initiative is still in the hands of those big shots! Whether we want to save the earth or not, we have to wait for them to "consider" it!
In the past, Shepard would have been happy to do it, and would have tried her best, even if she couldn't even get a "thank you" in exchange for it - that's the kind of person she is.
But when 11 billion Star Alliance people are about to be massacred by the Reapers at any time, do you want her to work for those aliens who are ruining their lives? Shepard picked up his helmet, knocked aside the turian senator and walked outside. Her answer was only four words——
"Fuck you!"
****
Is this different from what you imagined? ! The turian councilor was a little confused - he had just learned about Commander Petorian, and he did have something to ask Shepard. But to pay the price for this and for the Turians to agree to send troops, of course it is impossible! The Grand Commander wasn't that valuable, and he couldn't command the turian navy.
But what to do now?
"Ignore her, come, please sit down!" Unexpectedly, this time, Udina's attitude turned 180 degrees from what he had thought half an hour ago, and she actually smiled and asked him to sit down. "Shepard just says a few angry words out of anger. We all know how strong her sense of justice is. She will definitely save Commander-in-Chief Petorian."
Sure enough, a few minutes later, the two people received the news that the "Normandie" was leaving the port.
Congressman Udina stared out the window. Of course he wasn't telling the truth. If in the past Shepard did these things for justice in his heart. So this time...it's just because of Mu Xing's request. "Sparatus (the name of the Turian Senator, I need you to see something." After confirming that no one was around, Udina opened the multi-tool, and a holographic image drawing appeared between the two people.
The main god "Catalyst" in the unnamed room of the Citadel suddenly sat upright!
The main body of this drawing is a spherical building with various complex structures. There are extensive Prothean text annotations on the outside. Mainly because of the size of this artificial creation, it is far larger than the "Destiny Extraordinary". Its construction is definitely a huge project - this is the blueprint of the Sky Furnace!
"We found a weapon in the Prothean ruins on Mars that is said to be able to completely destroy the Reapers!"
Sparatus was immediately shocked by Udina's words, and then he asked doubtfully. "But the Protheans were still destroyed by the Reapers, weren't they? Besides, why didn't the Star Alliance build it themselves?"
"Because this drawing still lacks some key components, it seems to be called a 'catalyst' or something..." Udina recalled what Mu Xing said, and the corner of the eavesdropping "catalyst" twitched. "Catalyst" didn't expect that the "Skytop Furnace" that was supposed to be built by the Star Alliance would actually be thrown to the three major races by Udina... He thought for a while and refrained from intervening. It doesn't matter who built the Sky Forge...
"The Protheans simply don't have time to finish it. As for why the Starfleet doesn't do it themselves... do you think the Starfleet has the time to finish it?! This weapon is called the 'Storm' and I'm not sure if it's as described Unanimously, it can play such a big role. But there is no doubt that building this weapon requires massive resources! And the Star Alliance has neither time nor resources. Maybe those races hiding behind have a better chance of completing it."
After finishing speaking, Udina seemed to have lost interest in the "Sky Furnace". He casually swiped the Turian's all-purpose tool and passed it to the other party without reservation.
"What I need to do has been completed. Please leave!" As soon as Sparatus collected the information, Udina issued an eviction order.
To be honest...he didn't understand what Mu Xing's move meant. He actually handed an infinitely powerful weapon into the hands of outsiders. If Mu Xing hadn't insisted on it, and Mu Xing really had other ways to help Star Alliance, Udina probably wouldn't have agreed - just now, he was resisting the urge to snatch it back immediately.
It is said. The Sky Forge is the crystallization of the wisdom of countless civilizations destroyed by the Reapers - said to be the key to destroying the Reapers - they pass this weapon from generation to generation, looking forward to the day it will be completed. The Protheans were only the last generation. They built the "Sky Forge", but in the end they still lacked a key component - the "catalyst".
But in fact, in Lu Yuan's view, Qingtian Furnace is a trap! Who on board the Dawn doesn’t know what a “catalyst” is—he is the biggest boss behind the scenes! He made the reapers! So even if Mu Xing got the blueprint of the "Qingtian Furnace" from Mars early. Lu Yuan never thought about building one.
And what’s interesting is that in the original plot, it was “Cerberus” who first discovered the blueprints of the “Sky Furnace”. But the news accidentally leaked, and then the blueprints were snatched by Shepard, and the Star Alliance built the Sky Furnace; but this time, the situation was obviously completely different, but when the earth was about to be invaded by the Reapers, there was another " Rumors spread that Cerberus found a super weapon on Mars.
Reminiscent of the last moment of the plot, the "Illusive Man" is sitting in the main control room of the Sky Furnace... Needless to say? It's obviously a big conspiracy!
It is obvious that the Dogs simply do not have enough resources to build a "Sky Furnace". In fact, even the construction of the Star Alliance is very difficult - and the idea of Seggou is to borrow a chicken to lay an egg! The Star Alliance struggled to resist the Reapers. On the one hand, we have to tighten our belts to build the "Heaven Furnace". In the end, the user is not himself... Could it be more difficult?
This is a magical pit, "people who know want to get out, people who don't know want to get in", and you don't know whose hands it will fall into in the end. So this time, Mu Xing didn't take the trap at all and threw it directly to the three major races. You just build it. With the resources, Star Alliance might as well build a few more warships.

Earth.
After General Hackett dismissed the guards, he drove away from the military base alone. Arrive in front of a small club in the downtown area.
The neighborhood is quite quiet, and at such a time of panic, it is still very orderly, which is quite rare. He knocked on the door. When the door opened silently, he slipped in quietly.
There were already a lot of people in the room. After seeing Hackett's arrival, everyone stood up and said hello. It was obvious that they had known each other for a long time. While Hackett was socializing, he came to sit on the chair on the west side. It looks like he is familiar with the world. Apparently been here many times.
In addition to Hackett, most of the people in the room were active duty soldiers.
If you observe carefully, you will find that almost all of them are "acquaintances" who have appeared in the scene...Anne's suspected parents, Colonel Mike Harovich and his wife; a Chinese family, relatives of Li Huamei, but they are more famous for being involved in the "Presidential Assassination Case" "; Busushima Saeko's father, Fukuyama Kataoka, chairman of "Ariake Technology"; Mu Xing's adoptive father, Professor Xu Zhengze.
These people were all related to the organization "Louis' Children", and eventually several families came together and formed a political alliance - their periphery also included several human colony leaders, and even Seb One of Russ's top agents...
But today they all hurried over after receiving a call from Mu Xing.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, the room suddenly became bright and dark, and then a group of people appeared out of thin air in the center of the room!
"Hua Mei? Are you still alive?!" "Annie!" "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Son~~~"
Seeing those people appearing out of thin air, the room suddenly became chaotic. Only the bastard sitting in the center surrounded by fragrances was still calm and calm——
If it wasn’t Lu Yuan, who else could it be?
